Ole Miss' recruiting class quickly filled up before the Rebels season even began. Nineteen 2011 graduates have given Ole Miss a verbal pledge, and that means very few spots remain for a select amount of athletes.

One player still in the mix is Forest (high), Miss., wide receiver Josh Pinkston.

The 6-foot-2, 195 pound athlete has offers from Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Southern Miss, UAB and Tulane. Pinkston has visited several campuses - his top three choices - this fall, but says he will still wait to make his ultimate decision when National Signing Day draws near.

"I went to Mississippi State-Auburn, Alabama-Penn State, and Ole Miss-Vanderbilt," Pinkston said. "State couldn't execute right, they couldn't lay the hammer at the end, and at Bama, it was a big game - for sure.... Ole Miss versus Vandy - it was a great atmosphere. Ole Miss is pretty young right now and still trying to rebuild from the key players they lost from last year."

Pinkston said Crimson Tide representatives are still in contact with him.

"Alabama basically (tells me to) keep my grades up, and see how I'm doing on the field and that I still have a chance to go there," Pinkston said. "They want me."

Pinkston has played every skill position on the field. He's lined up in the offensive backfield and at receiver while also playing cornerback and safety on defense. Pinkston is also on the punt return and kickoff return teams.

Pinkston said he is "not really" comfortable with playing defense in college, and added the position that a school wants him to play could "maybe, maybe not" impact his collegiate decision.

Pinkston's older brother, Todd, played for Southern Miss and in the NFL, and the elder Pinkston has instructed Josh throughout the process.

"(Josh tells me) to go where I feel comfortable and basically just keep my grades up and just go where I want to go," he said. "We're just enjoying the process and I'm enjoying the games for right now."

Stanford, Auburn, and Vanderbilt have increased their attention toward Pinkston of late, but none of the schools have offered a scholarship.

Pinkston has a 3.3 grade point average and is scheduled to take his standardized test on October 23.
